I've just tried a d-i run over a serial console using an image built from SVN, and it seems to work fine. I jumped back to the menu, arrowed down to 'Execute a shell', and when it started there was no mention of a lack of job control, or (as far as I can tell) any problems with job control. Given how old this bug report is, I'm pretty confident in saying it was fixed a long, long time ago by some change or another, and so I'm closing it off. If anyone can actually reproduce a problem with job control in a d-i shell with a current (squeeze RC or daily, or even a Lenny installer image), please feel free to reopen this bug with a detailed description of how to reproduce the problem. - Matt
